ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
DRIVING THE VEHICLE 20MPH LOST ALL POWER TO ENGINE, LEFT WITHOUT POWER STEERING, BRAKES OR CONTROL OF VEHICLE. PULLED OVER AND TRIED TO START VEHICLE, IT DID NOT START, BUT AFTER A FEW MINUTES IT RESTARTED. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES IN FEBRUARY 2015. I CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY, WAS ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER. SHE CHECKED ON NHTSA RECALL 05V270000. SHE STATED THAT THE REPAIRS TO THIS VEHICLE HAVE ALREADY BEEN COMPLETED AND THAT I WAS NOW ON MY OWN IN REGARDS TO REPAIRS. WHILE DOING RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT PEOPLE ARE STILL HAVING SOME PROBLEMS REGARDING THIS ISSUE. FORD SEEMS TO HAVE WASHED THEIR HANDS OF THIS ISSUE OF RESPONSIBILITY REGARDING THEIR VEHICLES. THIS IS WHY I AM FILING A CASE. *TR

RADIATOR FAILURE, HIGH PRESSURE COOLANT LEAK WHICH IS NOT DISCERNIBLE BY COMMON INDICATORS. RADIATOR CRACKED AND ALL COOLANT WAS LOST WHILE VEHICLE WAS BEING OPERATED, WHEN COOLING SYSTEM NOT UNDER LOAD THERE WAS NO SIGNIFICANT VISIBLE LEAK. THIS POSES A RISK OF CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE, POSING A SIGNIFICANT DANGER TO THE PUBLIC IN THAT SAID VEHICLE COULD LOOSE POWER WHILE BEING OPERATED UNDER SEVERE CONDITIONS. THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF VEHICLE IS COMMONLY USED FOR COMMERCE AND PUBLIC SAFETY. DESIGN OF RADIATOR IS DEFECTIVE AND PRONE TO FAILURE. *TR

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE TRAVELING I-10 WEST NEAR CRESTVIEW, FL AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, I RECEIVED A FORD DIAGNOSTIC SCREEN NOTIFICATION TO STOP VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY. I PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE AND SLOWED THE TRUCK TO A STOP. THE ENGINE SHUT OFF IMMEDIATELY WHEN I FULLY STOPPED. I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE TRUCK, BUT THE TRUCK ENGINE WOULD NOT EVEN 'TURN OVER'. THERE WAS NO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE FORD DIAGNOSTIC SCREEN. I WAS STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE WITH FAMILY MEMBERS AND LUGGAGE AT 8PM ON A SUNDAY NIGHT, AND 2 HOURS FROM HOME (MISSISSIPPI). I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALERSHIP. THE NEXT DAY, THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS A EGT SENSOR FAILURE. THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE THAT A FAILED SENSOR WOULD LEAVE ME STRANDED WITHOUT A PREVIOUS WARNING STATING THE SHUTDOWN WOULD OCCUR. AT LEAST THE TRUCK PCM SHOULD NOTIFY AND ALLOW ME TO PUT MYSELF AND MY LOVED ONES IN A SAFE PLACE IF THE TRUCK WAS TO BE AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF. *TR

ENGINE
THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED. THE FIRST OCCASION WAS ON 1-22-15 WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, MESSAGE CENTER ALERT NOTIFIED THAT A EMISSIONS FAULT HAD OCCURRED AND VEHICLE WILL BE PUT INTO EMERGENCY MODE AND SPEED WILL BE LIMITED TO 50 MPH WITHIN 50 MILES. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER AND WAS NOTIFIED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE DEF SYSTEM. AT THE SAME TIME, I WAS INFORMED THAT AN UPDATE WAS NEEDED (14E03 PROGRAM UPDATE). THIS WAS A FUEL SYSTEM CALIBRATION. ALL WORK WAS COMPLETED WITH NO EXPLANATION. I LEFT AND THE TRUCK SEEMED FINE WITH NO MESSAGES. THE SECOND ISSUE HAPPENED ON 2-3-15 O.D. READING 57393. I WAS DRIVING 75 MPH ON IH10 WHEN THE MESSAGE CENTER NOTIFIED ME THAT A EMISSIONS SYSTEM ERROR HAD OCCURRED AND THE VEHICLE SPEED IS NOW LIMITED TO 50 MPH. AS A RESULT, THE TRUCK BEGAN TO IMMEDIATELY SLOW TO 50 MPH. I LOOKED IN MY REARVIEW MIRROR AND NOTICE A SEMI-TRUCK CLOSING FROM BEHIND AT 70-75 MPH. WE WERE BOTH IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE AND ANOTHER CAR WAS NEXT TO THE TRUCK IN THE PASSING LANE. THE TRUCK HAD NO WAY TO MOVE OVER AND AVOID ME. AS THEY APPROACHED ME, I HAD TO MOVE RIGHT TO THE SHOULDER TO TRY TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF THE PENDING DISASTER. THE SEMI-TRUCK STARTED TO JACKKNIFE AND BARELY MISSED ME. THE OTHER CAR HAD TO MOVE OVER INTO THE MEDIAN. THIS WAS HORRIBLE AND POTENTIALLY DEADLY. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER AND THEIR REPORT STATES THAT A NOX MODULE FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE... NOT AN EMISSIONS ISSUE. HOW STUPID CAN YOU POSSIBLY BE TO PUT A POSSIBLE EMISSIONS PROBLEM IN FRONT OF ALL OF THE HUMAN LIVES AT STAKE. IN ADDITION, THERE SEEMS TO BE SEVERAL EMISSIONS SENSORS THAT CAN FAIL THAT WILL SHUT THE TRUCK DOWN IMMEDIATELY. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED. FORD ADMITTED THAT THEY OVERRIDE THIS LIMITATION FOR AMBULANCES. EITHER THE TRUCK IS SAFE OR IT'S NOT. *TR

JAN 01 2015 I WAS DRIVING TO WORK 6AM, WHEN THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON A MESSAGE READ " PULL OVER NOW SAFELY", I PULL TO THE SIDE ALONG THE FREEWAY THE TRUCK SHUT DOWN. I HAD TO CALL INTO TO WORK TO ADVISE I WON'T BE IN AND CALLED A TOW TRUCK. I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR A TOW INTO FOLSOM LAKE FORD. THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME IT WAS A BAD SENSOR ALL FOUR SHOULD BE REPLACED. I CALLED MY WIFE SHE INVESTIGATED EGT RECALL ON FORDS, I TOLD THE SERVICE ADVISOR OF RECALL HE SAID THERE IS NO RECALL. MY WIFE ESCALATED THE CALL TO FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPT. SHE SPOKE WITH [XXX] HE CONFIRMED THE RECALL AND GAVE HER A REFERENCE NUMBER, LEVEL 2 CUSTOMER SERVICE TOLD HER THE DEALERSHIP NOTED IT'S THE CALIBRATION AND WE CAN'T UPGRADE THAT FOR YOU. THE CALL ESCALATED TO REGIONAL SUPERVISOR TJX HE SAID NOTHING HE CAN DO AND I'LL HAVE TO PAY FOR REPAIRS OUT OF POCKET. MY HUSBAND PAID THE REPAIR BILL. ON 02/02/2015 WE RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER FOR EMISSION RECALL 14E03 CATALYST REDUCTION SYSTEM UPDATE FOR IMPROVEMENT INCLUDING REDUCED TEMPERATURE SENSOR FAULTS AND IMPROVED DRIVABILITY. SO BASICALLY THE EGT SENSOR RUNS OFF THIS COMPUTER SYSTEM TELLING THE SENSOR THE TRUCK IS OVER HEATING. THIS STRANDED MY HUSBAND ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, NOW FORD REFUSES TO REIMBURSE USE THE REPAIRS AND TOWING. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WE WERE DRIVING IN THE LEFT LANE OF FOUR LANE HIGHWAY (TWO LANES EACH WAY) WHEN THE SENSOR WARNING CAME ON SAYING STOP SAFELY SOON. MY HUSBAND STARTED TO MOVE TO THE RIGHT. THE TRAFFIC WAS VERY LIGHT. BEFORE WE COULD GET INTO THE RIGHT LANE THE TRUCK DIED. HAD WE BEEN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WE WOULD HAVE BEEN STALLED IN THE HIGHWAY. I AM REPORTING THIS OUT OF CONCERN FOR OTHER DIESEL TRUCK DRIVERS. FORD DEALER SAID CAUSE WAS BAD EXHAUST GAS TEMPERATURE EGT SENSOR AND WE PAID OVER $1000 TO HAVE ALL 4 SENSORS REPLACED. THIS HAS CAUSED US TO LOSE FAITH IN OUR TRUCK AND WE TRADED IT IN FOR A NEWER MODEL.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
I WAS DRIVING THE SPEED LIMIT OF 65 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE, WHEN THE TRUCK WENT OVER A ROUGH SPOT IN THE ROAD AND BEGAN TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. I COULD NOT STEER DO THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK SHAKING SO VIOLENTLY. I MANAGED TO GET THE TRUCK SLOWED DOWN QUICKLY AND OVER ONTO THE MEDIAN. I STOPPED AND GOT OUT TO CHECK AROUND AND UNDER THE VEHICLE AND FOUND NOTHING. AS I ATTEMPTED TO GET UP TO SPEED AND MERGE BACK ONTO THE HIGHWAY THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING AGAIN. AFTER GETTING UP TO ABOUT 50 MPH IT SMOOTHED OUT. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO DISCOUNT TIRE AND HAD THE WHEELS REBALANCED AND THE FRONT CHECKED WITH NO PROBLEMS NOTED. THE TRUCK HAS DONE THIS ABOUT 4 OR 5 MORE TIMES SINCE AND IT ALWAYS AFTER YOU GO OVER A ROUGH SPOT IN THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE SHAKES SO BAD THAT YOU CANNOT CONTROL IT AND YOU HAVE TO STAND ON THE BRAKE TO SLOW IT DOWN ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO STEER IT. THIS CAN RESULT IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT OR DEATH!!! I HAVE ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION SINCE THE TRUCK WAS NEW. WHEN IT SHIFTS FROM 1ST TO 2ND SOMETIMES THERE IS A LONG DELAY WHERE THE THROTTLE IS PUSHED DOWN AND THE TRUCK DOES NOTHING FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 SECONDS, THIS HAS OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES IN INTERSECTIONS AND CAN CAUSE YOU TO BE STRUCK IN THE SIDE. I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK TO THE SHOP 3 TIMES AND THEY CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION BODY AND THE TRANSMISSION PUMP AND IT STILL CONTINUES TO HAVE THE PROBLEM... *TR
